5/9/23: Spline coming out of the groove in the corner of the lanai, photo below.5/9/23: The water main valve to the home does not have a handle so there’s no way to turn the water off. Off is the position I prefer. Since we can’t turn it off I walked the house twice to make sure all faucets, valves and toilets were not running. I pulled a frozen plus weeds on the lanai.
5/9/23: Checked all light timers. Several small sections of the roof are tarped for missing shingles. A window is broken in the Florida room & is temporarily covered. Facia damage on back of house. Water damage on garage ceiling. Did not run any water inside the residence per the client. Watered all the potted plants with the water bottles provided. Put the keys back in the lockbox when leaving.
5/9/23: I found 2 dead wasps in the master bedroom on the floor, photo of one below.
5/9/23: Brought in three pieces of mail see photo below. The paint is starting to peel from the wood soffits on the right side of the house.
5/9/23: I watered 8 total plants out on the pool deck and 1 out front. 3 small lamps up front were on upon entry. I notified the client he reset the timers remotely. I poured vinegar down the HVAC condensate tube chased by water.
5/9/23: Made sure the water heater & range were off. The humidity level was over the acceptable level of 60% inside the residence when I arrived. I lowered the thermostat to 79 for now to circulate air & mitigate the high humidity level. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. Both screen doors are locked. All shutters are closed.
5/9/23: I started the car and let it idle during the service call. The thermostat is turned up 1 degree to 78 from the last service call.
5/9/23: There was no mail in the mailbox. I connected the battery maintainer to the car. The thermostat fan was set to on. It should be set to auto. Humidity builds extremely high inside if it is set to the on position rather than the auto position. So you can see now by the reading that you have 66.5% humidity which is way too high. I set the thermostat to 72° the fan to auto and the humidistat to 50. The settings should certainly help the humidity and keep it where it needs to be, which is under 60%. It may not be a bad idea for me to stop back in next week just to ensure that the humidity has been gotten under control. Please advise. The right side master bath sink drains very slowly. I have tagged it as such to remind us. The garbage disposal is frozen. There is a spot along the back top wall of the master bedroom closet, photo below. This was here last year if I recall, so this photo is just a baseline for this year. The screen to one of the windows in the living room has a hole in it, photo below. I remove the alkaline batteries from each of the remotes so that they don’t corrode over the summer.
5/9/23: The hall smoke detector was not beeping upon arrival. Now the smoke detector in the living room in the coved ceiling is beeping saying low battery. Could it be that both were beeping last time and I just didn’t catch it? Anyhow, I can’t reach the cove ceiling smoke detector due to the additional 14 to 16 inches higher and trying to use your step stool. I will bring my ladder next service call. The browning in the backyard of the grass is about the same.
